Show Mi-La- Dairy To nd Alfalfa Weevil Control Improve Plant At Cost Of $35,000 By George F. Knowlion Extension Entomologist Utah State Agricultural College Control of the alfalfa weevil is desirable every year in most parts of Utah. Ehie to the very rapid plant growth which occurred after the spring rains of 1953 the crop of weevil grew very well. However, the alfalfa weevil has commonly caused great damage in most areas of Utah where early spring control had been neglected. The new early spring insteti-cid- e stubble treatments have resulted in effective adult weevil control. A alfalfa crop was produced rather uniformly over the early spring treated areas of Utah My efforts to during 1951-5determine the value of this weevil control treatment to the growers of forage hay and alfalfa seed crops has led to the conclusion that this early spring treatment has meant a cash benefit of $600,000 to $1,000,000 to the fanners and ranchers of Utah. This benefit was secured solely as a result of this early spring chemical spray application. In some years, besides controlling alfalfa weevils, it also has helped to control the army cutworms in some areas. The alfalfa weevil early season control program has been developed largely by USDA entomologist F. V. Lieberman and his associates at the Utah Agrl cultural Experiment Station, Legume Seed Research Laboratory. Entomologists working in Montana, Wyoming and in other western states also have conducted research on the program. This alfalfa pest can be con UINTAH BASIN RECORD LDS Leader Is .

Control, however, must be accomplished before the female weevils lay many eggs. Eggs laid before control is applied will hatch and become worms to feed on alfalfa foliage during June and early July. For six years now, recommended spray applications, put on when early spring growth of alfalfa reached a height of 1 to 2 inches, has destroyed a very high percentage of adult alfalfa weevils which had survived through the winter in the alfalfa fields. This early control has largely prevented egg laying. When this treatment has been properly timed, so few alfalfa weevil larvae ordinarily have been present in the fields that economic injury rarely occurred. Research during the past several years has shown that applied at the rate of 13 emulsified pints of the 18 concentrate per acre, and 25 emulsified heptachlor at one pint per acre, also has given excellent control when sprayed on the fields before alfalfa exceeded two inches in early spring growth. In 1953 great amounts of heptachlor and as well as chlordane, were sprayed on alfalfa stubble in very early spring. The result was excellent weevil control in practically all cases. Control chemicals should be adequate in supply for all Utah needs in A personality sketch of President David O. McKay of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints is featured in the April issue of Coronet Magazine. The intimate, detailed account of President McKays busy church and home life is written by a Utahn, L. Blen Snarr, executive news editor of the Deseret News and Salt Lake Telegram. This article is one of the very few ever written for national release by a native Utahn who had all the background and knowledge of the subject close at hand. Mr. Snarr says in part, To the world, David O.
